Product Description

Getting your first drum kit can be hassle. Maybe that's why the Ludwig Pinnacle drum kit line has become a bestseller so quickly: it comes complete with everything you need to start playing, right away. Most drums are sold as just shells, meaning no cymbals, no kick pedal, no drum throne, no hardware...you're still gonna need to plunk down a couple hundred bucks for a complete set. Not so with the Ludwig Pinnacle drum kit five-piece. The price you see nets you a full drum kit in the truest sense of the word, right down to a pair of sticks, and it's a drum kit you'll be proud to play on for years to come.

What set rock and roll apart from the start was the aggressive rhythm, and that rhythm was driven by the drummer. More often and not in those early days, the drummer's kit bore the Ludwig name: legends like Ringo Starr and John Bonham changed the world with Ludwig drums, and today's greatest players--Tre Cool from Green Day, Jason McGerr from Death Cab For Cutie, and Bonham's son Jason--continue to do the same. Now you can start you own musical revolution with a Ludwig Pinnacle Drum Kit, Five-Piece.

Big Tone at an Affordable Price

The Ludwig Pinnacle line is an affordable one, but these drums don't sacrifice on tone. Crafted from basswood, the Pinnacle shells are punchy, musical, and loud. The three tom-toms feature six-ply construction for durability and sonic impact, and the eight-ply, 22"x18" bass drum is like an indestructible cannon. The particular selection of tom and kick shell sizes make the Ludwig Pinnacle drum kit well-suited to many different styles of music.

Not Extras; Essentials

Ever seen a drummer playing without cymbals or a kick pedal? Not likely. Things like cymbal stands and a drum throne shouldn't be considered accessories--they're integral to the instrument. The Ludwig Pinnacle drum kit is truly a drum "kit," giving you every last tool you need to start playing the music you love right out of the box, including hi-hat, and crash ride cymbals. You also get high-quality, adjustable stands to mount those cymbals, as well as a throne to sit on and sticks to bash everything with. And a kick pedal. The Ludwig Pinnacle ships with a smooth, chain-operated pedal for lightning-fast beats.

So go ahead, indulge in your dreams of rock-stardom... the Ludwig Pinnacle (5-Piece) makes starting your legendary journey easier than ever. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Ludwig products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (37 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Awesome Drum Kit!"
Overall: I'm no expert and not even a real musician yet, but the Pinnacle has surpassed every expectation I've had. It looks and sounds terrific. I might be missing something, but even the cymbal sounds great with all the beginner beats I'm learning. If you're looking for an affordable drum kit that you can unpack, setup, and start playing, the Pinnacle is definitely it. If you're a beginner, you don't have to try to think of everything you're going to need, other than some extra sticks, because everything is included to get you playing as soon as you set up the kit. Even if you've never held drumsticks before, like me, you're going to be amazed at what you can do (with a free online video lesson or two) in just a few hours after your kit arrives. I simply cannot come up with a complaint about this kit. Further, the customer service at Zzounds is second to none, which has made every aspect of purchasing and owning this drum kit a true delight. I was as dumb as they come when it came to drums, but I'm playing some pretty cool stuff now, and, if I had to do it over again, I'd buy this kit again, from Zzounds again.

Overall: The Pinnacle Set is a solid sounding, well put together, nicely finished Ludwig set.I chose the the Pinnacle due to limited funds, but the price did not seem to matter to the quality of the sound, the drums themselves or the Hardware.I play with a heaver built stand, but the hardware that comes with the set sufficient.New Ludwig heads and I was ready to play!My vote is 5 Stars for the price of a great set of Ludwig Drums! Ludwig is and always will be #1 in my Book!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
